Larceny in the Round 7 slot lands the Patriots a B, Paul Jr. and all. Call it larceny. Chris Paul Jr. sat on the board until the 217th overall pick, and the Patriots did not need to be asked twice. A dependable weekend that grades out a B.
They covered a lot of ground and still skipped edge rusher, which is a strange place to end up. They left with wide receiver solved and the rest of the wish list mostly ticked off.
All told, a solid class that does its job everywhere but edge rusher.
Pick Analysis
Pick12
Rnd1
Will Campbell
In the 12th overall pick they get a plug-and-play piece up front. A clean fit for the roster.
Pick38
Rnd2
Luther Burden III
A wide receiver of that caliber at No. 38 is the definition of value, full stop. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick44
Rnd2
Omarion Hampton
They barely believed it either: Omarion Hampton still on the board at Round 2, Pick 12. Another box on the needs board, quietly ticked.
Pick69
Rnd3
Jihaad Campbell
The board fumbled Jihaad Campbell all the way to pick No. 69, and they scooped it up. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick76
Rnd3
Alfred Collins
Alfred Collins slid further than he should have, and slot 76 is lovely value for the interior defensive lineman. That was the need underlined and circled, and now it is checked off.
Pick77
Rnd3
Tyler Warren
They robbed the room for Tyler Warren here, a fall nobody at the table saw coming. A real hole, addressed with a reasonable pick.
Pick104
Rnd4
Jake Majors
They let Jake Majors come to them and pounced at the 104th pick. One more legitimate question on the roster, answered.
Pick143
Rnd5
Kevin Winston Jr.
You do not let a safety like Kevin Winston Jr. reach the Round 5 slot and blink. They did not. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
Pick148
Rnd5
Quinshon Judkins
Steal is underselling it; Quinshon Judkins at the Round 5 slot is a heist with the alarm still ringing. It shores up a spot that genuinely needed the help.
Pick217
Rnd7
Chris Paul Jr.
Chris Paul Jr. in Round 7, Pick 1 should not have been possible, and that is the whole point. Pure best-available; the position was not exactly begging.
Pick220
Rnd7
Upton Stout
Upton Stout at the 220th pick is a first-round grade at a bargain-bin price, no notes. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick238
Rnd7
Clay Webb
Somehow Clay Webb was still sitting there in No. 238, and they pounced on premier offensive lineman value. It fills a real need, too.
